Why can't parallels recognize an SD card as easy as a USB flash drive?

Using parallels , I want to access pictures from my SD card but windows does not recognize the SD. It will easily access the pics if they are transferred onto a flash drive of transferred to a folder. I do not want to have to take the extra steps. Do not need to on any pc.

Check with the folks at Parallels how the program can read the SD card reader.

Why can't I edit the photos I just imported from a usb flash drive?

Why Can't I edit the photos I just imported from a usb flash drive? I scanned them into a desktop pc, copied them onto a flash drive, imported them into iphoto. Once I remove the flash drive I'm unable to edit them. Says it can't find the original...or something like that. I appreciate any help you can give me! Trying to get a slide show ready for a funeral, therefore I have an approaching deadline, eek!

Copy the photos from the drive to your desktop import then again and delete the images. If the same mistake appears, there is something wrong with your import settings into iPhoto - > may be you didn't imported the original files to your iphoto library.

After it has finished downloading to your iTunes library, drag it to the flash drive.

Why can't we use iTunes gift cards with family sharing? After Christmas, we now have lots of account credit we can't use. Very frustrating.

I just logged out of my daughter's account and back in, and now it works. Deducted from gift card account balance. So I hope this is resolved.

why can I not change my payment card?

This region thing and reset limit is not new. It was put in place since the medium debuted in the 90's. It is a means of controlling content distribution to the studios benefit. For instance, launch Avatar II in the US, milk the local moviegoers while creating expectation, then slowly release it to different regions of the world. Or keep the pesky Euro movies out of the US market to avoid eating into the meager sales.
Some directors loathe this with a PASSION. That's why Peter Jackson released the home version of Lord of the Rings Trilogy simultaneously worldwide.

Why can't I use my itune card I redeemed

Why can't I use a gift card I recieved to make itune purchases

What happens when you try to buy something, what are you trying to buy (you can't use your balance for gifting, you can only use a credit card) ?
If this is the first time that you've tried to buy something and you are being prompted to enter card details then unless you used the instructions on this page when creating it : Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method
then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store. You should be able to remove the card after entering it.
Or, and if you are being prompted to review the account, then you could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you do so without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054#24303054
If you are getting a message to contact iTunes Support then to do so (these are user-to-user forums) :
- go to http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ww
- click on your country's flag
- click on the Contact Support at the bottom of the left-hand column
- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
- then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
If it's a different problem ... ?

Can't print & can't see USB flash drives plugged in from Windows partition

My uncle has installed Windows XP professional through Bootcamp on his new MacBook w/ Snow Leopard. He gets to it through Parallels. Everything works perfectly, except he can't print to the same printer that the Mac prints to, and also, when in Windows, the os won't recognize USB flash drives that are plugged into the MacBook either. He has the latest Windows printer drivers installed for the printer he is trying to print to and still won't work. He needs both of these up and running immediately. I convinced him to get a Mac. Apple fam...HELP!!!
Thanks.

Hi,
since Parallels is not an Apple product it would be ebtter to ask such questions in the Parallels support forum.

Can't access usb flash drive while running a Linux OS

Hello,
I'm a student taking a UNIX class at a local university. I downloaded required Linux software for my class, called Knoppix version 4.0.2, on my Toshiba Satellite L305D-S5895. The program runs fine but I cannot save the script I create to my usb flash drive. The flash drive is a 4Gb Sandisk. The light comes on the flash drive when plugged in but no icon is displayed on my desktop and the Knoppix OS won't recognize the flash drive.
I've discussed this problem with my Instructor and he can't identify what's causing the problem. I've ran the Knoppix software on a friend's computer and it runs and recognizes my flash drive fine. So the disk is good. I've searched on the Internet and have had no luck discovering a solution. I'm thinking now the problem could be with my processor, AMD Turion 64 X2. But, I've been reading online, other computer users with an AMD Turion 64 X2 are having no trouble running Knoppix OS. Below are the Knoppix system requirements and what is loaded on my computer.
Knoppix system requirements:
Intel processor (i486 or later)
32 MB of RAM for text mode, 64 MB for graphics mode
Bootable CD-ROM drive
Standard SVGA compatible graphics card
Serial or PS/2 standard mouse
My system:
Toshiba Satellite L305-S5895
Model: PSLC0U-01S01F
Processor: AMD Turion 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-60 2.00 GHz
3.00 GB RAM
32-bit operating system
Windows Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 2
Please give advice on what you think could be my problem.
Thank you,
Bradley

Try to manually mount it via Terminal.
Open Terminal and runs this command.
>sudo /sbin/fdisk/ -l
That should list the available disks. They will be sda1, sda2, sda3, sdb, ect. Usually the USB will be sdb if you don't have a second hard drive.
Now run this command.
>sudo mount /dev/sd*
Replace * with what the USB is.
That should mount your USB

How can I transfer a big .pdf file e.g. 9 MB from my Macintosh Performa 5200 and its OS 8.1 to an USB-flash drive?

How can I transfer a big .pdf file e.g. 9 MB from my Macintosh Performa 5200 and its OS 8.1 to an USB flash drive? E.g. is there any adapter available in order to connect the SCSI with USB? Or is it better to use a compression software and transfer it to 10 3,5" floppy discs?
Thank you
Emanuel

Hello Emanuel,
The Performa 5200CD did not have built-in Ethernet as standard, so unless an Ethernet card (or an external SCSI or LocalTalk-to-Ethernet adapter) has been added, that method would not be available in this case.
Your suggestion involving compression software (such as an appropriate version of StuffIt) with segmenting capabilities could of course be one alternative.
If you have an internal or external modem for the Performa, another way could be to use the telephone lines for transfers. A communications program would have to be used on both sides (for example, ZTerm or the communications section of ClarisWorks on the Performa).
It is even possible to connect two serial modems directly. A simple line simulator (in principle, a 9 V battery in series with a 680 ohm resistor in one of the leads in an RJ-11 to RJ-11 cable), which can be built in a couple of minutes, is sometimes needed. Do NOT use a line simulator for units connected to the public telephone network.
Yet another solution could be a null-modem transfer to a PC with a (DB-9M) serial port. This would require a null-modem cable (can be designed by combining a Macintosh modem cable (MiniDIN-8M to DB-25M) with a normal PC-style (DB-25F to DB-9F) null-modem cable . HyperTerminal or another communications program can be used on the PC.
What do you have to work with (other computers/models/platforms)? Is this a one-time transfer, or do you plan to send additional files later? Is the intention to continue to use the Performa 5200?

How do I safely remove my sd card and usb flash drives from my iMac?

iMac newbie here. After years of PC messes and crashes I finally converted to iMac. However it's not always easy to find what I am looking for. The first time I disconnected a usb flash drive a warning appeared on the screen. I neglected to jot down the instructions. Now I want to remove the SD card for my phone, and I don't want to mess anything up. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

You posted in the iMac forum; to properly dismount any external drive from a Mac, drag its' icon to the trash can. Then you can unplug it. I don't have an iphone, so I can't answer that. You'd get more knowledgeable answers for that question in an iPhone forum.

How Can I Back Up My iTunes Library To A USB Flash Drive?

I have around 5GB of files in my iTunes Library and I don't want to have to use multiple blank cds (dvds) to get my files onto my new iMac. On top of that I can't my cd-writer doesn't work. So I bought an 8GB USB Flash Drive and I just want to know how I can get my iTunes Library to back up to my USB Flash Drive.

Is all your music, as well as your iTunes folder, in My Music? If so, copy your My Music folder to the drive. That will back up all the songs, and the iTunes library files, which happen to be located in iTunes/iTunesMusic.
In case you are asking how to copy: Close iTunes. Insert the USB drive into the machine and open it like a folder. Then you can use drag and drop to put stuff in it.

If i use a usb flash drive which is both os and windows compatible can i transfer files from my mac to a windows pc using the same usb flash drive?

if i use a usb flash drive which is mac os and windows compatible can i use it to copy files from the mac to a windows machine. i have to do some training abroad and wnat to take the files on a usb from the mac but they will only have a windows operating system available to me.

Generally, it's not the flash drive that makes it compatible, but the formatting used on it. In Disk Utility on a Mac, the format is called MS-DOS (FAT). In Windows, I believe it is called FAT32.
A USB flash drive formatted that way should be readable and writable on both Mac OS X and Windows. But you may want to try a "trial run" before relying on it for the trip.
